My Review on TAG Heuer CAF101F BA0821 Aquaracer Chronograph
I've owned my "James Bond" Automatic Mov't Omega for 9 years. I own 1 other Omega, but this one is my everyday watch. I've had no problems at all. It's never been serviced and still keeps near perfect time, gains 2 or 3 seconds every 6 or 7 days. I have had it pressure tested twice over the years. The last time was 2 years ago. Still as tight as ever. My only complaint. The rotating bezel on mine is extremely stiff and somewhat difficult to turn, and the edge bevels are not really pronounced enough to give you good grip. The only evident wear and tear on mine is typical hairline scratches on the band and clasp. The watch case, crown, and crystal still appear flawless, and this is my everyday watch. A few comments about the warranty. The Standard Manufacturer's Warranty is only 1 year, after that your own own, unless you purchase the extended Amazon Warranty. Personally, like most extended warranties, I don't think it's necessary. If the watch works when you receive it, then it will still be working a year later, 2 years later, etc. And note that the warranties do not cover accidental breakage or damage. I also feel the same way about "General Maintenance/Servicing". If it's not broke don't fix it. If it's not keeping good time, then look into getting serviced. The recommended "service intervals" are just a good way to lift some money from your pocket. "Grey Market Vendors...", I see no problem in purchasing from an internet vendor as long as you do your research and know they are reputable. You will save plenty over what you would pay in a regular store front jewelry store. I purchased mine over the internet and saved $800 over what the local jewelry stores were charging, plus the savings on sales tax.... I decided not to worry about not having any true warranty because the vendor had a 30 day money back gurantee. Like I said, if it works when you get it, it will still be working a year later. The money I saved more than outweighed the 1 year manufacturers warranty. One last note.... You will probably need it sized to your wrist. If you purchase from the internet, then just find a local watch repair shop that services higher end watches, they will do it for you. DO NOT GO TO a Mall Kiosk like Watch Works, etc!!
Wear it and Enjoy it. You can't take it with you!

The watch is everything I thought itwould be and more. this is my first premuim weatch and i am absolutely in love with it. Shipping was great and packaging perfect. another grand slam from Amazon!
OMG WOW this watch is STUNNING! A few things amaze me about this watch and buying it from Amazon. 1. It looks AMAZING. I went to a few watch stores to look at it before hand and I was very concerned it would not look as good as the ones in the high end stores because your buying it online. It looks BETTER than the ones in the stores. Even if it looked exactly the same, it looks as good as can be. The second thing that amazed me is the price. No high end shop came close. Amazon's price was easily much better than retail. Amazing experience. From an initially very concerned buyer, I will, without hesitation continue to buy high end watches from Amazon as long as it's sold by Amazon.
Was verry concerned about ordering a $1600.00
Watch on line before placing the order i did visit an authorized tag dealer to make sure it was the one i wanted retail on this piece was $2200
The only difference between the one i got from amazon and the one at donahos is the warranty card , saved $700.00 i think i can live without the little plastic card thanks amazon you rock
My wife bought me this as a wedding present and is my first TAG (i always wanted one). The only con i can see is that it doesn't have a fold over clasp as an extra security measure other than that i absolutely love it.
I am very happy with product. This is the second Tag I have owned and couldn't be more satisfied with the performance and durability.
I was looking at the Tag Heuer Link chronograph, which is an equisitely elegant timepiece, but I just couldn't quite bring myself to spend that kind of money on a watch. I settled for one step down to the Aquaracer series chronograph, which is a much sleeker line as compared to Tag's Formula One line. I've owned this model for about two months and have been very happy. It keeps dead-on accurate time, and it's an extremely attractive piece to boot. Amazon offers an outstanding price when compared to department store prices and peace of mind when compared to deep-discount online stores with uncertain reputations. The only aspect of the purchase that gives me pause is the warranty, which is through Amazon vice Tag Heuer.
